Unhealthy lifestyle nearly ruined Famiglietti

 

Anthony Famiglietti packed his bags and headed to the airport.

He figured, what else was there left to do?

After turning in his worst steeplechase race in about six years at the 2007 USA Outdoor Championships, he wasn’t about to sit around Indianapolis wallowing in his fourth-place finish and missed opportunity to compete at the World Championships. 

Besides, judging by the 8:27 he just ran, there was plenty of work to do.

Famiglietti returned to his altitude-training base in Flagstaff, Arizona intent on getting in better shape for the summer circuit in Europe. But the next day, he was hardly ready to run. In fact, he could barely drag himself out of bed. 

The tired feeling persisted, but for Famiglietti determination always trumped fatigue. It wasn’t until he couldn’t complete the easiest of workouts that he figured something was seriously wrong.

“I was just exhausted,” Famiglietti said in an interview before the New York Road Runners Healthy Kidney 10k on May 16. “For two weeks, I couldn’t run more than a half a mile without having to stop and walk home. I was really scared. I thought my career was history and that I blew my body out.”
